🧵United States v. Rush
David Rush is a former Senior Executive Service (SES) and CIA employee.
He was arrested last week on a complaint charging him with theft of public money.
But there's a bit more going on here.

But there's a bit more going on here.
It is not known when Rush stopped working for the CIA or why, but we know from the affidavit that he requested and received "a significant quantity of foreign currency and tens of millions of dollars in gold bars for work-related expenses" between November 2025 and March 2026.
So his employment must have run at least until then.
So his employment must have run at least until then.
At some point, I'm guessing between March and early May, the CIA began an investigation/review of what Rush was up to.
They were "unable to locate the gold bars or significant amounts of the foreign currency Rush received pursuant to his requests or to identify the intended use of these funds."

A number of responses here are shocked, shocked! that I could say that Alexander was only great at killing, but if you challenge them to say what else he was great at...they mostly sputter.
So was Alexander great at things other than warfare and killing? 1/

Was he a great judge of people? Not really.
The best of his companions - Antipater, Parmenio, Eumenes, Antigonus, Craterus, Cleitus - were all handpicked...by Philip II, Alexander's father.
Alexander handpicked Harpalus, who stole the treasury, *twice.* 2/

Was he a 'philosopher king?' That's not the impression any of the sources give. There's a cottage industry of high-minded quotes for Alexander's last words, but our sources give them: asked who is empire should go, he responded "to the strongest."

🚨EXCLUSIVE: Candace Owens @RealCandaceO did not tell you the real reason she is going to Russia.
Candace will be joining Putin, Dugin & many Russian gov't, intel & propaganda operatives as a speaker at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
She said she "might" meet Dugin due to "Zionist lore" about him, as if her critics are making the meeting happen. The truth: Dugin was already scheduled as a speaker at the same event as her.

SPIEF, where Candace will speak on a panel, is a known hub for Russian intel. Leaked docs show that its panels serve as "recruitment pipelines" for foreign collaborators.
Top goals are "media partnerships" with "foreign influencers" as part of "state-directed soft power programs."
Its Organizing Committee includes Putin's top advisors & senior intel officials.

SPIEF is a hotspot for Russian intelligence's dirtiest activities--so dirty that one of Epstein's closest friends led SPIEF. He is a FSB Academy graduate & will also join Candace as a speaker there.
SPIEF helped Epstein get a Russian visa by inviting him to the event. Epstein helped SPIEF recruit attendees.
According to the SPIEF official's recommendation letter for Epstein's Russian assistant, she worked closely with SPIEF's Organizing Committee and was asked to speak at the event.
The Epstein files revealed that Epstein asked for the SPIEF official's help in dealing with a Russian model who was blackmailing powerful businessmen in New York. The SPIEF official provided him with information about her.
Epstein appears to have threatened her life by warning her that he'd send the FSB after her as an "enemy of the [Russian] people."
SPIEF is widely reported to swarm with Russian models & escorts who target affluent men. Many of them are likely doing so as part of honeypot intel operations to acquire "kompromat."

I called out the Chinese invasion requirements for Taiwan in May 2023 complete with a prediction they would have to be building satellite detectable 1944 invasion of Normandy Mulberry style infrastructure.

In that thread I connected classic "irrational regime" Chinese 'Wolf Warrior diplomacy' as a behavior indicator of how they would view the world wide maritime trade and financial collapse invading Taiwan would cause as advantageous to China.

I started losing my memory six months after my cardiologist put me on 80mg of Lipitor.
I could not remember words. I forgot conversations from the same day. I walked into rooms and had no idea why I was there.
I told my doctor. He said it was stress. He said it was age. He said it had nothing to do with the statin.
He was wrong. And the FDA knew it.

Your brain is the most cholesterol-dense organ in your body. 25% cholesterol by dry weight.
Your brain needs cholesterol to build synapses. The connections between neurons that form thoughts and memories.
Your brain needs cholesterol to produce myelin. The insulating sheath around every nerve fiber that allows electrical signals to travel.
Your brain needs cholesterol to consolidate memories. The process that turns short-term memory into long-term memory requires cholesterol synthesis.
Your brain makes its own cholesterol on purpose. Because it cannot get enough from your blood. The blood-brain barrier limits what gets through. So your brain manufactures what it needs locally.
Statins block the enzyme that produces cholesterol. In every cell. Including the brain.

Not all statins are the same. There are two types.
Lipophilic statins. Fat-soluble. They cross the blood-brain barrier. They enter the brain. Atorvastatin. That is Lipitor. The most prescribed statin in the world. Simvastatin. Lovastatin.
Hydrophilic statins. Water-soluble. They do not cross the blood-brain barrier as easily. Rosuvastatin. That is Crestor. Pravastatin.
The most prescribed statin in the history of medicine is lipophilic. It crosses into the brain. And it blocks cholesterol production there.
In an organ that is 25% cholesterol. That builds every memory you have ever made. That depends on cholesterol to function.

HILL 1:
Autoimmunity doesn't start in the immune system.
It starts in the environment that trained it.
Your immune system learned what to attack from your gut lining, your toxic load, your light environment, your stress history.
The fire isn't the problem. The conditions that started it are.

Leaky gut is not a wellness blogger invention
It's in peer-reviewed gastroenterology literature.
Intestinal hyperpermeability
Tight junction dysfunction
Zonulin dysregulation
When your gut barrier breaks down, partially digested proteins enter circulation and your immune system has to make fast decisions about what's self and what's invader.
It gets it wrong. A lot
But unraveling the gut isn't just about a protocol, its about understanding the person on an individual level, their unique background, nervous system states, prior health history, terrain, antibiotic use, exposures....
This isn't a supplement and done problem

We believe we can push Russian aircraft back far enough to stop their mass use of guided bombs against us.

Zelenskyy: First Gripens arrive in 10 months. Pilots start training now.
The challenge: our pilots are already flying combat missions in Ukrainian skies. We need to pull them out to train — and that's never easy during a war.

No one else has this — we'll share it. Gripens, interceptor drones, EW, aviation, helicopters. Land, air, sea. That's a modern air defense shield.

Hamas was the state in Gaza, and UNRWA was the Gaza’s economy
It was completely inevitable that the two would have massive overlap
UNRWA could have recognized this reality and said something like “UNRWA operates under local authorities and can’t vet members and operations”

Instead, they reacted with outrage when Israel accurately pointed out the close connection, even though the comixing of UNRWA and Hamas facilities was reported by human rights orgs years ago
And this is the consequence, the likely end of US funding for UNRWA. Congrats guys

All of this is downstream from the international community successfully pressuring Israel to allow a terrorist group to become the government of half of Palestine, and then netenyahu cynically using that fact to further his power

Ukraine’s strategy is to raise Russian losses above Moscow’s ability to recruit new soldiers. Russia suffered around 30,000 casualties in April alone. 3/
